None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

Lessee... is it 'House of Mardil'? I know he was a chief steward early on - but forget if the house was named for him or someone earlier.

Beren. (after checking obviously... I didn't even know Gondor had a 'Beren' steward)
Echtellion was the 17th. |

OK - this isn't found in any single part of the appendices, but can be put together from different passages:
How many 'white trees' do we know of, that are associated with the Numenoreans? (either in Numenor or on Middle Earth) And... so this doesn't become just a number-guessing game, tell me a thing or two about each tree. In every case, we are told at least two of the following: where it was planted, who planted it, when it was planted, what the end of it was... |

Three?
The white tree of Numenore - Nimloth. Brought as a gift fromm the Eldar of Tol Eresea to Numenmore. (from Galthalion sp.) the white tree in Minas Ithil (of Gondor) - was taken from Nimloth by Isildor and planted in Minas Ithil. of Minas Tirith - was taken from the white tree in Minas Ithil, brought to Minas Tirith by Isildor. |

He's close, but I think he is forgetting the sapling that Aragorn found on Mt. Mindolluin. It was the sapling of the line of Nimloth, a seedling of Galathilion and a fruit of Telperion. I'm not sure who planted it, but I think it was Isildur who did...

That sapling Aragorn found and planted was another one I wanted... but that's not all. Still more!

What about the White Tree called Celeborn. That one hasn't been mentioned. That is the tree of Tol Eressëa. It came from Galathilion, which stood in Tirion. Celeborn's descendant was Nimloth, which stood in Armenelos. A fruit of Nimloth was taken by Isildur and planted in Minas Ithil and later in Minas Tirith. A fruit was planted also in Mt. Mindolluin, which was later the sapling that Aragorn found...
Btw, Telperion was destroyed in Valinor, but an image of it was made which was Galathilion. One of Telperion's flowers lived and the Valar set it up, which became the Moon...
